The very LAST thing I would want to hear as a relative of a victim of a tragedy such as what occured in Oso is that this was "gods will".
In FACT it was Man's will for overlooking the report that this very thing WAS predicted by engineers and surveyors and greedy stupid people...real estate agents... ignorant county officials ..land use representatatives..all probably "good god fearing" morons. Because apparantly fish runs are more important than human lives when it comes to greed and land use.
Just another reason why people that believe in fairy tales should have no access to power.
God doesn't kill people ...stupid people that believe in god do.
Those who believe in fairy tales don't have access to power.
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
If I had Samson's power, I would be out saving more people. God didn't choose that for me. Believe me, I would love to save people from disaster with superman like powers. You made your choice and now mankind has to live apart from God if you want. You get what you get and you don't get upset.
I lived next to a town that flooded. They lived next to the river and when it flooded, the water overflowed one street and covered cars. A politician made it possible for apartment buildings to be built on an island near where it flooded and based on that flood, I could accurately predict that someone's living room will be six feet under water in the next flood.
People called this politician's office and he went ahead and did it anyway. It is about money. The politician also ran a campaign where he said he cared.
I live in a flood zone. Do you know what? Few people care. We were at a town meeting and those on my block who were in the flood zone had one position and those who didn't live in the flood zone on my block had a different position. Guess who cared? Those who lived in the flood zone cared.
Like I said. People that believe in fairy tales are gulible. MOST of the people that lived in Oso were probably "good god fearing people" that prayed that something like this would never happen. They "tricked" themselves into believing that if they went to church and put money in the basket and listened to all that gobbly gook that god would look favorably on them.
Anyone with half a brain and the ability to reason and understand that that hillside had collapsed several times already in the not so distant past ..probably coincidental to above average rainfall...could have looked at a rain gauge and noticed that the recent rainfall was at an all time record and that clearly this incident was not only possible but nearly a CERTAINTY !!!
Lesson..spend less time cramming your head full of nonsense and a little more time on facts and you will live longer.
If any good comes out of this event it should be an eye opener for other communities in a similar geophysical setting.
The Army Corp of Engineers knew the hillside was going to fail and did NOTHING, and you're blaming God?
